Invitation: International Tisza Fish Festival, Szeged, Hungary, 6 - 8 September
- 7 Sep 2013 6:00 AM
Fish has always played an important part in the people’s diet in Szeged and since 1997 there has been a fish festival organised by the city. The place of the event is at the foot of the Old Bridge where there used to be the fish market. It is organised on the first weekend of September.
The quay is filled with enormous kettles in which different fishermen’s restaurants cook traditional fish soup and the place is crowded with people who want to eat it.
There are wooden tables and benches where you can put your tray and have your Szeged style fish soup on the river bank while you watch ships go by. The setting is wonderful and no matter which eatery you choose you’re sure to have a lovely meal.
